Hello,

.........1.........2.........3.........4.........5.........6.........7
I use gnuplot and some bash-skripts on a Cygwin x86_64-Installation to 
generate a number of plots. Filetype is png because plenty of colleagues 
will look into the plots. 
Usually gnuplot sends the message:
<======================
fontconfig: Couldn't find font. when opening font "arial", using internal
non-scalable font
======================>
That could be a solution if I could force gnuplot always to do so.
when exporting GDFONTPATH=/cygwin/x/Windows/Fonts
I can use Arial Font without error.

The Problem is that I do not understand which font is available or not. 
In c:\Windows\Fonts\ there is a scalable Font called "Terminal", but I 
get the error message:
<======================
fontconfig: Couldn't find font. when opening font Terminal, trying default
======================>
gnuplot then uses arial.

If I run fc-list I get exactly one empty line.

Since I use my skripts in productive environment I would like to have 
deterministic behaviour.

What is chain of command between gnuplot, GD-Terminal, fontconfig and what 
is involved there.

regards,
    Axel
